Ponomarenko pursed his mouth helplessly, did not respond to Nehru's complaints, and continued to talk about Khrushchev's suggestion to invite the prime ministers of India and China to go to Moscow to discuss matters.
Nehru: "This is unfair! In Moscow, it must be you who join forces with China to force me to betray India!"
"Mr. Prime Minister, regardless of whether you attend the appointment or not, the Chinese Premier will visit the Soviet Union in June and have a meeting with Comrade General Secretary." India conflict."
……
Khrushchev saw India's hesitation, and also saw that China's attitude was not to beat India to death, so he volunteered to mediate between China and India.
This is also what he has done the most in the past year or so: reconciliation.
In his view, China and India can definitely be reconciled, and even the United States and the Soviet Union are now talking about peace.
Beginning in 1957, Khrushchev focused on peace when speaking to the United States in public, suggesting that the Soviet Union and the United States should not hostile to each other based on the presupposition of a large-scale all-out war, but should instead coexist peacefully, compete peacefully, and transition peacefully.
To sum it up is the "three harmony" line.
The first achievement Sanhe Dashen achieved was an agreement with the United States and the United Kingdom at the end of 1958 to temporarily suspend nuclear testing.This will not affect the development of Soviet nuclear weapons (the warheads verified by this test have been tried, and there will be no new experimental requirements within a few years), nor will it affect the development of US nuclear weapons (for the same reason), but it will be used in the world. The world gained a good reputation: it was the Soviet Union's initiative to propose a moratorium on nuclear testing.
In 1959, Khrushchev achieved two results. The first was that the United States and the Soviet Union held national expositions each other, and the second was a confirmed visit to the United States.
"I have accepted President Eisenhower's invitation to visit the United States. This will be an epoch-making visit, marking a new era in US-Soviet relations."
After meeting with the US ambassador to the Soviet Union, Khrushchev came out with a flushed face, and announced the big news in front of the reporters attending the press conference.
"If there is any expectation for the trip to the United States," Khrushchev added, "I hope to do two things in the United States: first, visit the Disney amusement park; Monroe having lunch."
……
"puff!"
Seeing that Khrushchev still put forward two requests that were exactly the same as the original history, Tang Hua could only spit out the tea in his mouth to avoid choking.Corn Emperor is really stubborn.
This is the new news from the Soviet Union that Nie Shuai disclosed in advance at a regular meeting of the National Defense Advanced Technology Research Institute.
"Khrushchev's visit to Disneyland can be understood as the hope that the United States and the Soviet Union will not be at war with each other, have more relaxed and friendly exchanges, and think about the future world for the next generation and children," Nie Shuai said. Monroe eating together? Does this also represent a relaxed and friendly exchange?"
Tang Hua: "This...I think...Indeed, at the luncheon of the summit visit, inviting popular actresses to participate is also a way to release a peaceful attitude, because stars are a cultural symbol. However, Khrushchev And the people behind him are actually thinking too shallowly, he should invite Elvis Presley."
Qian Xuesen: "Apart from the fact that one is a male star and the other is a female star, is there any difference between Elvis Presley and Monroe?"
Tang Hua: "Elvis Presley, to some extent, represented the rebellious sentiments of the younger generation in the United States. There has always been controversy in the traditional American cultural circles about the appropriateness of this style of art. As for Monroe, that It's the popular lover of the Americans, and it won't have the effect of Elvis Presley."
Nie Shuai: "So I'm even more curious, isn't this Marilyn Monroe particularly beautiful?"
"According to American standards, it is so, but it does not conform to Chinese aesthetics. In my opinion, it is very ordinary." Tang Hua replied calmly.
Qian Xuesen knew the content of today's chat, so Jiang Ying knew.Jiang Ying knows, and Zhou Xuan will know sooner or later.This big pit can be bypassed.
Chapter 223 You still imitate my name?
Shanghai Huangpu River Wharf.
The "COSCO No. 200" freighter is putting the last 200 tons of cargo into the cabin by the wharf crane. The [-] tons are Jingdezhen porcelain that is protected by layers of packaging.
China COSCO Shipping Company was established a long time ago, probably in 1950, but due to the years of blockades to resist US aggression and aid Korea and later, the ocean shipping business could not run, and the establishment of the company was put on hold for the time being. In 1959, things turned around suddenly. Before the company was formally listed and established, COSCO No. [-] sent a ship to test the route.
The company has not yet been formally established, and the scheduled general manager of COSCO is still handling the handover of the work at the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the State Council. The name of the ship COSCO III was also just changed last week, and the paint on the word COSCO III on the bow has just dried.
While the cargo ship was loading cargo, the crew of COSCO 30 were also making preparations before departure. More than [-] crew members are led by the captain and instructors, and each person carries their own sidearms on board, and then stores them in the arsenal.
More than 30 people brought three 55 punches, more than 30 semi-automatics, 3 light machine guns, and 3 40mm rocket launchers.The additional weapon is a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. For this reason, COSCO-[-] specially welded a heavy-duty gun rack on the left and right sides. The machine gun is usually stored in the cabin. But it was all brought out.
This kind of weapon... Of course it is not for regular naval battles, but it can prevent other countries' navies from forcibly arresting ships.Also deters pirates.
If there is no problem with this foreign trade voyage, a considerable part of foreign trade in the future can directly depart from domestic ports and go to the destination. Both the transportation cost and the transportation speed will be greatly improved.
"Salute——! Thank you to the instructor!" The crew lined up at the pier, saluting the Deputy Director Gao of the Military Training Department of the 20th Army who was in charge of training them to use firearms.
"Good luck to you all!" Deputy Director Gao replied.
COSCO 2's test route departs from Shanghai and first arrives at Kampong Son Port in Cambodia, where 8000 Hongyun fans, hundreds of tons of other small household appliances, and hundreds of boxes of wine are being unloaded, before leaving Kampong Son for Indonesia.In Indonesia, all the export goods were unloaded, loaded with [-] tons of rubber, and returned directly to Tianjin, where the rubber was unloaded for use by the Tianjin Tire Factory.
……
Tianjin - The municipality of Tianjin is gone, and it is now the capital of Hebei Province.
The special products of Tianjin in 1959 were twist, rockets, satellites, soda ash, cloth, garments, rubber products, comedians, and ballistic missiles.Specialties to be added soon are chemical fiber and automobiles.
There is a 6-year difference between the establishment of the FAW and the Second Automobile Works, only 2 years between the Second and the Third Automobile Works, and only one month between the Fourth and the Third Automobile Works.Second Automobile will be located in Wuhan, Third Automobile will be located in Tianjin, and Fourth Automobile will be located in Shanghai.
Don't be too surprised, the frantic start of construction is because the demand for domestic cars is too great, and the most lacking is medium-sized trucks.Changchun FAW produces 1959 Jiefang trucks a year. The problem is that in addition to the [-] Jiefang trucks, China also imports [-] trucks from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe every year. However, it is not enough. In [-], it planned to import [-] to [-] trucks from the West.
Will the shortage of trucks pass after the Second Automobile Group goes into production in two years?no.The State Planning Commission has been staring at the statistical data. The domestic demand for trucks is rising at a rate of 25% every year. Even if the Second Automobile Works is put into production, by 1962, I am afraid that medium-sized trucks will still be imported.
If you do the math, you know that the average lifespan of a truck is 15 years (actually, trucks are generally used very intensively, and 10 years is not bad), Changchun FAW will produce 60 vehicles a year, and in the end there will be 60 vehicles in China. brand truck.How could there be only 600 trucks in use across the country, [-] million is not enough.
"In the planning of the automobile industry, the special vehicle production plants are Changchun and Luoyang. Among the automobile factories, Changchun focuses on medium and heavy trucks; Wuhan is light off-road vehicles, medium trucks, heavy and super heavy wheeled vehicles; Tianjin is light Off-road vehicles, light trucks, medium trucks; in Shanghai, medium trucks, cars."
"Among them, the car production line of the Shanghai Automobile Factory is arranged in the second phase of the project. That is to say, my country will not produce cars in the Second Five-Year Plan, and will not start construction of a car production line. Will this... be a bit late? ?”
Chen Zhengren from the Fourth Machinery Bureau (Automobile Industry Bureau) made a report on the development of the automobile industry.
Li Fuchun: "The chairman, the prime minister and other central leaders have agreed to this plan. We can't use so much human and financial resources to build a car factory or build a production line just to solve the car problem for leading cadres. We have to solve the national problem first. The production of the automobiles most urgently needed by the people."
Tang Hua: "The number of potential domestic users of small cars does not exceed 300. Leaders at the prefectural and municipal levels, as well as county and township governments in the vast areas in the west or in the southwestern mountainous areas, have official car needs, but We have decided to use jeeps for these official vehicles. It happens that the road conditions in these places are also poor, strictly speaking, they are only suitable for jeeps.”
The jeep models confirmed to be produced in China also have four doors and five seats, and a hardtop type, which is sufficient in most cases.
Another reason for this consideration is that as long as medium trucks, light trucks, and jeeps are manufactured smoothly, it is not too difficult to start the production line of small cars, and many technical thresholds have been crossed in advance.
Chen Zhengren: "That means... this year's National Day ceremony, the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief's cars will not be set up as a special solution?"
Li Fuchun: "There is a project approved. It is the plan mentioned earlier. Changchun FAW will start with the chassis of the Soviet car and add our own shell."
Chen Zhengren: ...
……
Adding a self-made shell to the chassis may not sound very good, but it is indeed the cheapest solution when the car only needs to be produced in a small amount and has a distinctive appearance.
In June 1959, the Prime Minister went to the Soviet Union for a working visit.
The first three days of the visit schedule are economic and trade meetings, one of which is the purchase of 20 GM chassis.The use is not shy, just say it is the car for the 10th anniversary military parade.
"The painting process of Changchun Automobile Factory is enough for trucks. If it is a special car for leaders, will it be a little rough?" The person in charge of the Automobile Industry Department of the Soviet Council of Ministers also asked intimately.
"It's up to us to do it ourselves. If there are special requirements for craftsmanship, we should do more manual processing and decoration."
